has (the main character) reminds me of me! Gotta see if you haven't already. I watch it over and over and I still laugh.
My favorite lines:
"Can't you just zonk me out so that I don't know that I'm at work, in here? Can't I just come home and think that I've been fishing all day or something?"
"I don't really like my job and I'm not gonna go anymore."

best office space
I have my office in a corner of my dining room. I am alone during the day and work as an IC. I would like to move my office to an upstairs bedroom. I've been reluctant to do this because I thought is would be too isolating (and bathroom is on the main floor). But it's a new year and I am starting a new account, so I thought what the heck? I have struggled lately with maintaining concentration. I look around a can see all that needs doing and I wander away from the 'puter and do it. A habit that has cost me! I am hoping the new office area will anchor me a bit. I would like to hear from MTs who work in a defined work space like this, the pros and cons. I want to be a more productive focued IC in the new year. Any input would be helpful. Thanks so much!
My office is the space between my fridge
The funny part is that we are looking for a new house and my husband has been thinking about office space for me, but I love it in the kitchen. I think I would feel lonely if I were isolated from the rest of the house. 
I turn into a prune when I have a space heater in my office, all that dry air dehydrating me!
LOL tooo funny. You work in this office?
How do you know?
MedQuist? Ctrl+shift+F, period, space, tab, period, space, space, change all. nm

I meant "One space or two", not "l space or two" nm

I like Peter Best. nm

Peter Jennings
Peter was very eloquent in presenting the news. His charming and winnings ways will be missed.
Peter Jennings
Amen, so sad. He was like the "only" newscaster on TV while growing up and beyond. He is home now!!
LOL!!! There's the Peter Principle, for sure!
Good one! You remember the Peter Principle, don't you? Someone will be promoted to the level of their incompetence! It's too true, too much of the time!
Peter Lorre was scary looking to me...n/m
Anyone else saddened by the loss of Mr. Peter Jennings?
I am.
I am 30, grew up watching Peter Jennings.
This was really sad for ME because I have seen him on the TV since I can remember watching TV. The time I remember him the most of course is 9/11. He was there nonstop. I will never forget.
Nick Nolte or Peter Strauss
LOL Yes they were both handsome, and it was such a good show - but who would you choose NOW ? 
I'm only 39, but Cary Grant was pretty hot too, Peter Lawford too.

Considering Peter Preziosi (PP) is going to India to do some serious butt kissing...

Thank you sooo much,
I have been trying to figure that out for quite some time now. Why isn't that explained anywhere on the site or why isn't there just a tab to click on for "Subscriptions?"
Just wondering, it would sure be easier to do that way.
Thanks again.
Thank you sooo much!
I am in total agreement with you about the Emdat platform and also being able to do more in Word. I really wish there was a way to just type in Word and send the work from there. However, thanks so much for letting me know about how to copy to Emdat. I didn't want to try it until I heard back from someone, so thanks.:)
if they are SOOO BAD
why do so many people work there?
everything is opinion based, just as you didn't like it there, im gonna guess plenty do.
this is sooo cool! Thanks!
I am just sooo depressed
Hello!! I am a newbie, stay-at-home military wife and my husband is the only one working for now. He is deployed right now and I am managing all the finances, since we have separate accounts, I transferred$1000 in my account which made him mad. It felt like I overspent and use the money for nothing. Money that I didn't even spent shopping!!! He knows where the money goes but he still questions me about every single penny I spent and I really felt so bad.
Thank you guys for reading my post. I just felt like sharing this with you. I just need someone to talk to. 
This is sooo true
This is so true. I have been told by the human resource director that the docs will only need a device kind of like a Palm Pilot and that they will key in diagnoses, etc, which somehow which will somehow cover billing, transcription, etc. I guess I could deliver pizzas or go to Wal-Mart. It seems like there will always be PIZZA AND WAL-MART! This is really, really SAD.
My $375 was sooo well spent...
We have a cat and a dog - We have gone through a Fantom, a Hoover wind tunnel, and a Dirt Devil (not in that order, but you get it, about one vacuum every other year - kaplooey with the animal hair - yes I groom my animals but still...they shed)....I bought a Dyson a little over year ago, after seeing it on sale at Sears, looking it up on the 'net, and just being fascinated by the whole vortex deal. I also ended up using a gift card I had as well, which took a bite out of the price. Before buying, I asked the Sears Service Dept and customer service people their "scoop" on the Dyson - they had never had one returned....for any reason in our region of stores - they looked it up for me. I figured that was good enough for me ! I have had no problems whatsoever and absolutely love it. I should have started working at Sears on commission. I have sold 3 of them just by word of mouth..LOL! Gotta love the Dyson - especially with the extra motor in mine (the purple one) for the animal hair - it honestly doesn't ever lose suction!
Not the OP. This is sooo true.
Like when the company looses an account and the Shift lead lies and tries to play dumb like she has no idea why there has been no work for 20 days or more. Yeah right! Big fat liars...most of them.
While at another company based in Florida, I had system problems almost every day. Tech support was a joke. Every time I mentioned it to my Team lead shed say, "I have the same problem everyday" in the most unconvincing voice possible. Big fat liar.
At the end of a day, once, I was sooo tired and would have
preferred to not type at all and yes...I did it, I CHERRYPICKED.
Then, I realized the other MTs were making selections and that is why I was so tired = I was doing the crappy work.
Now, thank GOD, my account does not allow the MTs access to that function in Winscribe - and becoming a cheater isn't an option anymore. Cheater
I am just sooo frustrated!
I am just so frustrated with my production. I am stuck at 800ish lines a day. I have tried Instant Text and Smartype both and I still cannot get over this 800 line mark. I really need to double this at least because I have 2 children to support. Ok thanks for letting me vent
You're sooo right.
We weren't born yesterday.
That is hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am rolling on the floor with that one.
I saw that, and it's hilarious!!!
Hilarious!
Ha! That is the funniest thing I've heard all day! I remember way back when I first started as an MT, the surgeon had dictated what sounded like "slap reconstruction," so that's what I typed. It was "flap reconstruction!" Gosh, I'm sure glad the surgeon had a sense of humor and he read the document before signing it...hee-hee!
Those are hilarious! (nm)

That's hilarious!
You'd elect Bush all over again! God help you! And you probably thought, and still do think, that Iraq has WMD. Hahahahaha! 
Have fun shelling it out at the pumps honey. Bush and his oil buddies count on people like you. 
you think everything is hilarious

Hilarious!
LOL, I didn't think of the fact people are named Ed...
OMG hilarious NM

Hilarious!!! nm

OMG that is hilarious! My DH's is too! sm
It never fails, he will start talking as soon as I step on the pedal. As soon as I lift my foot to try to catch what he said, he stops. Then when I think he was just making a rhetorical comment or something I didn't need to respond to, I will step on the pedal and he will start talking AGAIN!! This will go on for a couple of minutes, listening to the same little bit of dictation over and over, until I finally tell him to either SPEAK OR SHUT UP!
That is hilarious even though
EVERYTHING you said is true and very very frustrating, it was still sooo funny...especially, and I forget what number...the yawning issue...I always love to try and figure out what they are saying in the middle of a yawn.
You also forgot number 11...spell the word "the" but don't spell physicains names, names of other doctor's office or words that THEY can't even pronounce!
thanks for the laugh...I definitely needed a good on! 
My ex was wealthy and I was sooo miserable
without going into detail, I will say my health suffered from being with a man whom I sensed did not love me in a deep fashion. That fact cancelled out the 9,000 sq foot home (attached 4 car garage), 2400 cash allowance monthly, the need for me not to work, vacations to exotic places and luxury cruises twice each year, a walk in close the size of my present bedroom. But, you know, I was so lonely. At least with your husband, you will have a man who loves you when you are old. I left that life to nothing, zip, lost my place in MT world after 20 yrs and had to start all over, his attorneys royally screwed me and yes, I was so poor I was hungry, sold all those clothes at second hang consignment shops and begged someone to hire me (MQ at 0.06 cpl). I had dogs so had to buy a home which took every cent I had. Walked out with nothing in the end. I am happy but at 40, that scene is not one a person can go through without subsequent scars.
I am alone now. A fireplace is my company along with two cats. Seven years later, I am at peace finally but I really did let myself down by putting myself through the hell I lived trying to get my life back on track.
The secret to happiness is being thankful for what we have - I say that every day.
SOOO good to hear from you --sm
So many people on this board expressed concern for you well being, I was surprised. But I am VERY glad that you did so well and accomplished what you meant to accomplish. I applaud your efforts and wish you the best of luck. I am a bit concerned about the doctor situation though. No doctor should have such control over someone's physical care as to put pressure on someone who works with them. That is not ethical! I understand your concerns about your husband's position and I am not suggesting that you do anything drastic, but it sounds like someone is holding a weapon over your husband's head to make you continue you care with them. You have a right to choose your own doctor and not suffer any consequences. This is still the USA, not matter what her problems, and you still have the freedom of choice. Please continue on your present course of action and only do what you feel comfortable doing, but please keep in mind also that no doctor should FORCE you to take care from them. Please also continue to come here to talk about things. There are some very supportive people on this board, and use them when you need to. All best wishes to you!! You should be so very proud! and bless your husband for being so understanding too!
You are sooo lucky!!! Congrats!
!
But ohhhh sooo tempting!! LOL
I am sooo computer challenged. Please can you help? sm
I am trying to test for a company that sent me the test via e-mail attachment. The test file had to be unzipped which I did using Winzip. But now, I have no idea how to get it to play. What am I supposed to do now to get me sound card to play it. I feel sooo dumb, but I've just never had to go through all these hoops. I've always just been able to click and listen. Ugh.
that's hilarious! No offense, of course!
Sounds like something I would do... I actually did LOL!
?it's individualized to us? - that's hilarious. They
have quit and have sent them 3 resignation letters!!!!
It still surprises them when we tell them I DON'T WORK FOR YOU ANYMORE~!
NOT FOR 6 MONTHS!
OMG...these are hilarious...I think it's safe to say we all have
Hilarious! I know a few Earls. nm
